In this paper we show that methods for recognizing Cartesian graph bundles can be generalized to weighted digraphs. The main result is an algorithm which lists the sets of degenerate arcs for all representations of digraph as a weighted directed Cartesian graph bundle over simple base digraphs not containing transitive tournament on three vertices. Two main notions are used. The first one is the new relation defined among the arcs of a digraph as a weighted directed analogue of the well-known relation...
By Ulam's conjecture every finite graph G can be reconstructed from its deck of vertex deleted subgraphs. The conjecture is still open, but many special cases have been settled. In particular, one can reconstruct Cartesian products. We consider the case of k-vertex deleted subgraphs of Cartesian products, and prove that one can decide whether a graph H is a k-vertex deleted subgraph of a Cartesian product G with at least k+1 prime factors on at least k+1 vertices each, and that H uniquely determines...
Weichsel (Proc. Amer. Math. Soc. 13 (1962) 47-52) proved that the Kronecker product of two connected bipartite graphs consists of two connected components. A condition on the factor graphs is presented which ensures that such components are isomorphic. It is demonstrated that several familiar and easily constructible graphs are amenable to that condition. A partial converse is proved for the above condition and it is conjectured that the converse is true in general.
Median graphs are characterized among direct products of graphs on at least three vertices. Beside some trivial cases, it is shown that one component of G×P₃ is median if and only if G is a tree in that the distance between any two vertices of degree at least 3 is even. In addition, some partial results considering median graphs of the form G×K₂ are proved, and it is shown that the only nonbipartite quasi-median direct product is K₃×K₃.
